Buffalo's own Jester

Submitted

Jester was born at SeaWorld in Orlando, Fla., in
May 2002. He was a part of the U.S. marine mammal Navy program until December
2006, when he was transferred to the Aquarium of Niagara.

In collaboration between the neighboring
institutions, officials from the Aquarium of Niagara and the Buffalo Zoo
arranged for Jester to be transported from Niagara Falls to Buffalo in
December. The sea lion was accompanied by animal care and veterinary staff from
both organizations during the journey to his new home in Buffalo.
